Brian & Kadi recap a massive month—releasing two songs and their EP Holy Moments—and take you behind the scenes of a filmed worship night with friends and church family. They share the very real nerves of recording live on camera, self-producing as an indie worship duo, and the joy of hearing people sing these songs in community. They dig into favorite tracks from the EP (“Holy Moments,” “The One Who Sees Me,” “At The Edge”), talk about songwriting themes (God’s faithfulness, personal refinement), and how they’re intentionally writing for their local church while letting the music serve ministry—on Sundays and beyond. You’ll also hear what’s inspiring them musically right now and why they’re experimenting with structure when leading songs live.

In the very first episode of It Needs Salt, Brian and Kadi invite listeners behind the scenes of their journey as worship leaders, songwriters, and artists. They talk openly about what led them to start Salt, the tension of being both ministers and artists, and the joy (and insecurity) that comes with writing songs meant for both the church and personal devotion.
